The heavy rain this morning pro- vided a severe test of the efficiency of the draining system which was re- sently iInstalled under the rallrcad bridge and on. the west side of it Jhe druinage system -was found wanting. The rain commenced at a guarter after nine, and in- one hour thure was a foot and a half of water indor the bridge. The little pond was growing rapldly, being fed by streams from the east and west sides ot the tracks. Automobiles had more or less suc- Cess in passing through the pond. Some got a good start and, splashing water on all sides, ploughed their way hrough successfully. Others had the misfortune to have their engines fail when the water struck them, and the witomoblles were stalled. One Olds- mobile in particular got as far as thd center of the pond and was stalled. The occupants could not get out ror he water vas almost two feet deep. A truck came along and hauled the automobile out by use of a long chain. The trolley cars did not attempt to pass through. the pond. They were stopped at a cenvenient dis- tance on either side of the pond and the crews changed cars. No water seemed to be carried off The storm may been been tod sudden for the capacities of the drain, but at any rate it seems that the drain is tnsufficient. Many residents have always doubted the feasibility of a irain under the bridge, since that is a point lower than the brook to which the water is directed. There has alwdys been trouble with the irainage system since the car road #as cut under the tracks. It had been hoped that the state highway commission had at last solved the problem when the present drainage jystem was put in. The other drains on the west side of the tracks were ‘in excellent working order and car- rled off all the water which flowed near them. No Light or 'Phone Service. Both Kensington and Berlin have had poor electric service during the past few days. Most of the street lights In Berlin were out last night, aithough most of those in Kensington ,were burning. Nearly all the tele- phones were out of order and the re- pair men have been slow to put the lines in order. Hoboes Make Noise. The residents of Berlin and Ken- vington have been annoyed the past by the noise and clamor ing through the town vers, asking them for or Hartford. The practice of these wanderers travelling by automoblile, especially in trucks is increasing. It is not unlawful to travel in that fashion if the travellers have the permission of the driver of the car, but when they are not in a car and shouting at passing automobilists when everyone is aslee¢p their actions amount to a breach of the peace. Political Candidates. Jason Taylor. of the Blue Hills dis- trict has been prominently mentioned for the nomination of the Republican party for first selectman. His candi- dacy is especially urged by the resi- dents of the Blue Hills district who feel that they should be represented on the board of selectmen in order that the roads in that part of the town might be repaired. Mr. Taylor when interviewed today said that while he was appreciative of the con- fidence placed in him by his friends he did not consider running for the office and moreover he said he would aot care to oppose either George Car- ter or Dr. R. M. Griswold, who are at present the most prominent condi- dates for the position. Francis Deming is being urged to run for the position of represeatative | from the town of Berlin and it seems probable that by the Republicans. The Democratic candidates are unknown While the office of select- man ‘s not particularly sought for by the Democratic candidates because of the large Republicaa plurality of voters in the town there 4re several Democrats who would like the nom- ination for representative. It is ex- pected that they will propose the names of several candidates for the nomination of selectman and repre- sentative. It has been generally believed that George Carter would be a candidate for first selectman, but as yet he has not announced his position in the mat- ter.

Justice E. P. Prior will hear the case and S. S. Gwillim will be prosecutor. Fidel- berg claims that on Wednesday after- noon, while a string of cars were being backed into a siding, the gates were held down for a longer time than is usual. Traffic was held up, and when the freight cars had passed, an irate driver on a truck demanded that the gates be raised. Fearing the approach of another train, Fidel- berg did not raise them immediately, with the result that the driver of the truck struck him a blow on the cheek. The blow dazed the tender and a cut was inflicted. Dr. J. C. Tanner attended him. The case was reported to the officials in New Haven. Field Day Events.
